Secondupdate.com – After the success of When Life Gives You Tangerines, actor Park Bo Gum is set to return to the small screen with a new Korean drama titled Good Boy.

In this drama, Park Bo Gum plays a former athlete who has now switched careers to become a police officer. The drama is scheduled to premiere on May 31, 2025, on JTBC and will be available globally, including in Indonesia, via Prime Video.

Good Boy is a comedy-action K-drama with a light and humorous storytelling style. The story centers on a group of young athletes who, due to certain circumstances, decide to change their career paths and become police officers. They join through a special recruitment program that allows them to exchange their medals for police badges.

However, once they enter the world of law enforcement, they realize it is far from easy. They are faced with numerous challenges, including corruption and deceit within the system. While the drama includes action and investigation elements, it also explores the personal lives of these young individuals as they confront harsh realities in their pursuit of justice.

The main characters of the drama are five former athletes who now serve as part of a Special Investigation Team. They are Yoon Dong Joo, Jin Ha Na, Kim Jong Hyun, Go Man Sik, and Shin Jae Hong. Each character comes from a different sports background and brings unique strengths to the team.

Yoon Dong Joo, played by Park Bo Gum, is a former gold-medal-winning boxer who is now part of the police force and actively involved in major cases. Meanwhile, Jin Ha Na, portrayed by Kim So Hyun, is a former gold medalist in shooting and now serves as a senior member of the team.

Lee Sang Yi plays Kim Jong Hyun, a former fencing athlete who now holds the rank of sergeant. His character is portrayed as calm and gentle, yet strong and resilient when needed. Heo Sung Tae takes on the role of Go Man Sik, a former wrestler who now leads the team, while Tae Won Seok plays Shin Jae Hong, a former silver medalist athlete who also joins the team.

Adding to the story’s tension, actor Oh Jung Se portrays Min Joo Young, a powerful antagonist within the police force. His character is expected to become one of the most hated by viewers due to his cunning and manipulative actions.

With a star-studded cast including Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun, Lee Sang Yi, and Oh Jung Se, Good Boy is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of 2025. Audiences can look forward to a blend of action, humor, and heartfelt life stories that are both entertaining and meaningful.
